Magento Server Side Form Post

Question

I got to get some points for this question cause I can't find a good answer anywhere :P Or atleast I don't know the proper terminology for doing this type of post.

Anyhow I want my magento application to dynamically make a post to a external server. I know Magento has some libraries that allow you to dynamically add values and create a post from the controller or model layer. I just can't find any good resources to do so. Could someone provide or show me a good example on how to set some values and submit a post to the external server ?

In a nutshell I want the user to make a post to my server, I evaluate the data, and if the criteria's are met, I will redirect that data in a post to another server.

I also want to utilize the magento Form libraries to do so, I don't know which libraries give me access to do this.
